Where's Try Gowdy When You Need Him?

Put your irony meter someplace safe:

Oh, Trey Gowdy? This is your jurisdiction. Surely you must be extremely concerned. This is actually current:
Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.

White House ethics officials learned of Trump’s repeated use of personal email when reviewing emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout much of 2017, she often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner.

She says she wasn't aware of all the rules. If that's the case, she's even more oblivious to the real world than I thought.

The only appropriate response is, to quote a source, "Lock her up!"

And from Trey Gowdy? *crickets*
